Flower detail

Nigella 'Love in a Mist' - lovely blue flower

This appeared wild in my garden , escaped from somewhere and shows up here from time to time .. savig seeds this time

it often shows up here looking like this

This appeared all of its own in our bird island, where lava rocks, mosses and sunflowers grow. We feed no whole seeds, so likely a 'dropping' from another location. Thanks! Pretty!
